what about for tiles, wood floors etc? Any miracle cures?

That's usually DH's department :-8

I usually just buy Flash (with lemon if possible) for the tiles and Pledge Soapy wood cleaner for the wooden floors, seem to do the job nicely!!

I'm back on the Stepford train!!

I've my kitchen clean and sparkly this week - there hasn't been any lapses, just the tiles need a good wash :-8

I've started on the mountain of a laundry basket - I've washed so much clothes in the last couple of days that I haven't enough space on my TWO clothes horses to take all the newly washed clothes :eek

The bulk of the ironing is done, just have a few bits left to do.

Goals for today:
- Clean the bathrooms
- Clean the kitchen
- Clean skirting boards
- Tidy bedroom

It must be done! :innocent:

At least I'm up to date on the laundry! Woot! :hyper:

I have done about 8 washes in the last 3 days - so my two clothes horses are about to fall with the weight of all the clothes on them!! I still have another 3 or 4 (or maybe more :-8

) washes to do... and then I'll tackle the wardrobe and do a major clearing out - anything I haven't worn in the last 6 months (bar dresses for weddings/events) are being brought to the local St.Vincent De Paul collection bin.....

Then I will tackle the Ironing pile! I think there is some stuff in it that have been there this year - so I think some of it will be thrown out - I'd rather throw it out than iron it!!

I'm back in the Stepford Wife mode.. this week I made brown bread, scones, fairy cakes, biscuit cake, pavlova, apple pastries - I didn't eat them all - for family celebrations.
I finally have all my handwashing done, my shoes reheeled and the whole house is thoroughly tidy. The smug feeling wont last long I'm sure!

My floors are bogging - they haven't been swept or hoovered in a week or more!

I now have a room full of laundry!

I have to get started with it. Driving me mad! What is it you put in the Iron to make the clothes smell good and easier to iron?

I hate ironing.

I remember Jawl used to get some ironing water from Tesco to put in the iron and make the clothes smell nice. I keep meaning to get some and start ironing my bedclothes with it cos I love jumping into bed with nice smelling sheets - the problem is I never usually iron my bed covers :-8
